What do you do with yourself when you are feeling lonely and dont have much to do?

Masturbate.

No really, welcome to my life. lol.

I play on Fluther. Seriously.

Join a gym with classes so you can socialize with others.

Go for a walk and observe what’s around you.

Read.

Watch a good DVD or comedy series.

Fluther.

Call or write to an old friend.

Journal.

Sketch or paint.

Go for a walk.

I don’t know if this will work for you particularly, since different people have different beliefs, but when I’m lonely I ask God to fill the empty hole that I feel inside my heart, and I just feel better in a matter of seconds without really trying.

after that, I do something I enjoy or something constructive, like maybe some house work, visit my grandmother, read a book, go out to a favorite store, watch tv, etc. Do something you enjoy doing and try not to focus on the ‘I feel so lonely’ part; when you dwell on it, you feel worse. thinking positively helps too

Volunteer your time.

I always thought, if I had the free time, I’d like to read stories aloud to children at a library, bookstore or hospital.

There’s probably lots of opportunities in your area. And you may meet some new friends.

Just get out among people anywhere. Volunteering is a good idea, alot of places can use your services. Just don’t stay home alone. That drives me nuts as well. Fluther helps sometimes. A chat with a friend keeps your brain engaged. Try pming with multiple people at the same time. That’s a lot of fun.

To me the key is getting out of the house. Do something like a walk, a bike ride, window shopping, people watching, gardening, cleaning, helping a friend. Just removing yourself from the walls that bind you. I would say that boredom can come from not being motivated to do much of anything and it is a spiral that can be hard to escape. Companionship can always help, but is not the rule. Find something you can be passionate about and immerse yourself in it. Stick with it for a period of time and it will become part of you.
